A WAIT statement should always precede a PRINT statement in your program.
The length of time WAIT holds whatever you told the PC-2 to print depends on the number you specify.
• WAIT without a specified delay will wait for you to press
(ENTER) .
• WAIT 0 causes the information to be displayed faster than you can keep up with it.
• WAIT 65535 holds whatever you want printed for approximately 17 minutes.
• WAIT 64 holds the display for about one second.
• WAIT 3840 holds the display for about a minute.
